I paid $30 for express shipping (3-5 days). My order was placed on 12/11. My item was supposedly done being produced on 12/20. It's now 1/7 and I don't have it. The company told me it was shipped but the carrier tracking said they were still awaiting the item for days. It's a scam.

Hi Nick,
I am so incredibly sorry for the stress and frustration this has caused you. I completely understand why you’d feel this way—waiting that long for an express order, especially when the tracking doesn't seem to move, is genuinely upsetting. I can promise you we aren't a scam, but I know our service didn't reflect that in this instance.
I’ve been looking into your shipment, and I can see that it was finally delivered to your mailbox in Pittstown, NJ today, January 13th.
I know the package arriving late doesn't make up for the holiday delay, so I want to try and make things right. I’ve gone ahead and processed a full refund for the express shipping fee. It’s a small gesture, but we want to show you that we truly care about your experience.
Thank you so much for your patience, and I’m so sorry again for the wait.
Fraud and Deception
Where is the zero starts button? One of the worst companies I have ever dealt with. First of all, the shipping time is a complete lie so if you were relying upon what they say on their website, don't bother. The piece took over a month to get to me and not only that, it was an unfinished piece that was tarnished and was supposed to be "sterling silver". it's not sterling silver it is a piece of metal with rough edges and when I complained and told them about it and asked for a refund, they stated that the edges on the inner and outer ring of the interlocking circle necklace as a matte finish. No where on the website does it display the necklace in a matte finish or even mention it. you see on the website that the ones displaced are completely finished. I wear sterling silver almost every day and as soon as I too it out of the box I could tell it was not sterling silver. What a fraudulent company. Save yourself and do not buy from this company. If you have any issues with any piece, contact the Division of Consumer affairs in North Carolina and file a complaint.

I am so incredibly sorry to hear about the experience you’ve had. Reading your feedback honestly breaks our hearts because this is the last thing we want any of our customers to feel.

I want to make this right for you. Could you please send us an email at hello@customgoods.co? If you use the subject line "Priority Review Follow-up", it will come straight to me.
If you’re able to, please include a few close-up photos of the necklace you received, specifically highlighting the rough edges and the finish you mentioned. This will help us investigate exactly what went wrong during production and ensure we provide the proper resolution for you immediately.
We are a small team and we truly care about our craft, so hearing that we let you down is tough.
Hoping to hear from you soon so we can fix this.

Same experience as reviewer after reviewer. Purchased beginning of December, and still don’t have it into January. I emailed them on the 26th and the said it was shipped but didn’t have tracking yet. I emailed on Jan 3rd and they emailed me back on the 6th with a tracking number but the label has been created only. Items still haven’t shipped. Irresponsible and unappreciated. The better business bureau needs to know that these guys are lying to people.

Hi Phillip,
I am so incredibly sorry for the frustration and the long wait you’ve had to deal with. Reading your experience, I completely understand why you feel let down. It’s definitely not the impression we wanted to leave, especially when you were looking forward to your items for the holidays.
To be honest, we were hit with a massive influx of orders this season, and between our internal production and our shipping partners being overwhelmed, things moved much slower than they should have. We also ran into some tracking delays where labels were printed but the system wasn't updating as the packages moved through the network, which I know is confusing and looks irresponsible on our end.
I did a deep dive into your tracking just now, and I see that your package was finally delivered to your mailbox in Boise on January 11th.
I know the delivery came much later than promised, so I’ve gone ahead and processed a full refund for your entire order. Please keep the items as a gift from us and a sincere token of our apology—there is no need to send anything back.
Thank you for your patience and for giving us a chance to fix this.

Terrible quality / unresponsive customer service
I placed an order for a bracelet in early November for a Christmas gift. After almost a month it arrived and was not wearable at all. The gems are mounted on a huge plate and will not lay correctly. I have reached out to customer service 5 times by email. They simple reply and say “just a moment.” And then never reply again with any solution. I am completely irritated and feel ripped off of the $100+ I paid for this useless bracelet.

Cheap materials, rusted after less than a month
I really liked the ring and I believed it was a nice piece, however it came chipped. I reached out to customer service and I have been doing back and forth with them for a month. Yesterday I noticed that the ring was rusted too. I had rings from Aliexpress that had better materials. So so disappointed!

This company is a scam
This company is a scam! DO NOT ORDER HERE. They take forever to send you a necklace, don’t respond when you email them, refuse to give refunds. THEN, when you’ve harassed them enough, they send you a track shipping link and lie and say it’s on the way. Except everytime you check for the next week it is in Henderson, Las Vegas. I’ve emailed them so many times and even DM’d on Instagram. They are unresponsive and refuse to return money that was sent even though they lied about the date you’ll receive the necklace. At this point, I don’t think it’s ever coming. When I went on their Instagram page everyone had the same story. The same thing is happening to all of their customers. This company sucks, don’t purchase here. Go shop in person.

Please reach out to us at hello@customgoods.co with the subject line "PRIORITY: Order Investigation" so we can look into your specific order and provide an exact update on its location.
While we are working hard to get every order out, please keep in mind that couriers are currently experiencing delays following the holiday peak. It can often take a few days for tracking links to update once the package is scanned into their system.
We want to reassure you that we are not a scam; every customer who has ordered from us has received their items, though we are currently navigating some unforeseen logistical delays. We are committed to making this right for you and look forward to hearing from you.
Placed an order on December 3 2025 for…
Placed an order on December 3 2025 for a diamond initial bracelet. This was a Xmas gift for my daughter. As of today, December 29, the order tracking on their website says it still has not shipped. I have filed a dispute with my bank.
Regarding the effort to make things right, the company has offered me a refund and my order is supposed to arrive today. However, a 5 week wait for an initial bracelet is unreasonable by any standards. I did not order a customized name or engraving and if I had known, I could have gotten a simple "letter A" with or without diamonds in a bracelet or necklace elsewhere in less than half the time. Any company unprepared for the rush of holiday orders is clearly not trustworthy, and they should state on the website that orders take 5-6 weeks to ship, not the "8 to 10 business days" promised. My daughter will still get the bracelet and hopefully it's good quality. The refund is a nice gesture - thank you. But Christmas morning was sill ruined and others should be aware if ordering for a special occasion. so my original review stands.
New review- took my “diamond” initial bracelet to a jeweler for sizing - it is NOT diamonds. Just cheap rhinestones. SCAM!!

Hi Trudie,
I am truly sorry that your daughter's gift didn't arrive in time for Christmas. I completely understand your frustration, especially given how long you've been waiting since you ordered.
I’ve looked into your order and can confirm it has officially shipped. Our couriers are currently working through a significant holiday backlog, which has caused unforeseen delays in scanning and tracking updates. Please rest assured that every one of our customers has received their orders, and yours is definitely on its way.
To make things right, we are processing a full refund for your order today, and you will still receive the bracelet shortly as a gesture of our sincere apology.
Thank you for your patience.

Since I am unable to reply to your reply to my previous review. I am demanding either a refund and the order or a heavy discount. This is completely unprofessional to guarantee an arrival before Christmas and still be empty handed. I don’t not care if you are slammed, it is terrible business to make a promise and not fulfill it. Custom collectives needs to make this right. If you want your business to survive you have to make customers happy. I will make sure to tell everyone to never order from you guys ever again. You ruined my wife’s Christmas and made me look terrible. Based off other reviews and people you screwed over, I don’t see you guys making it much longer.

Caution
BLUF: save your money or take it elsewhere. This company offers a truly horrendous experience and numerous inaccurate claims.
Timing: I ordered a piece for my wife during their Cyber Monday sale on 12/1/2025. Despite numerous claims all over their website that pieces should arrive in either 2 or 2-3 weeks (depending on which of their FAQ links you’re using), the piece did not arrive until 12/26/2025. Their advertising during the sale also indicated pieces would arrive before Christmas, but obviously that didn’t happen either.
Customer Support: Their website also advertises “24/7 VIP Customer Support,” but nothing could be further from the truth. Support routinely took multiple days to respond, and any responses to questions asking for concrete information like when the piece would arrive were completely unhelpful. Any questions around the numerous unmet claims they made were met with pushback instead of help.
Packaging: Their website indicates that pieces arrive “beautifully gift wrapped” and “ready to gift as-is.” When the piece I ordered finally arrived it was thrown in a gift box inside of two plastic baggies and with the bow fastened in the wrong direction so the package couldn’t even be opened without cutting the ribbon off.
I feel completely taken advantage of. The piece was fine (smaller than expected), but certainly nowhere close to worth the miserable experience. I will never spend another dime with Custom Collective.

Horrible customer service and delivery
I ordered earrings on December 4th as a Christmas present. At the time of order it was indicated on the product that it would indeed arrive in time for Christmas. As I was continually checking it showed on their website as of December 23rd it had not even shipped. I attempted to reach out to customer service and received no response, then some time later I received an email that the product was shipped. This was disappointing because it will still not come in time for Christmas. The company has horrible customer service and they state on their website that they try to get products out as fast as possible but this is not the case. I attempted to contact them again and got no response. I see other reviews that indicate similar issues with this company.

I also want to acknowledge your frustration regarding our communication. It’s clear we dropped the ball in getting back to you promptly, and I understand why it felt like your concerns were being ignored while you were checking for updates.

I never received the necklace I ordered which was guaranteed to be received before Christmas. This was supposed to be a Christmas gift which is truly frustrating to say the least. This website does not appear to be an actual legitimate Buisness and appears AI generated . The tracking number was also never provided to me nor an itemized purchase receipt. I only received an email saying thank you for your order. The emails I have sent were not answered timely and the one email I received from a person named Tony seemed AI generated with no direct contact information or title provided, there was also no direct information regarding the status of my order, and concerns and questions I stated in my emails I sent were not addressed. I also requested a direct telephone number and was not provided one. I would highly recommend you not order from here if you expect to actually receive the merchandise you prepaid for.

Beyond disappointed with production/shipping
Pretty disappointed thus far. Ordered the item at the beginning of the month assuming it would be here by the holidays considering the guarantee noted. It's been in the "wrapping" stage for over a week now and just today the shipping label was created. I get it's a busy time of the year but I should have checked all the reviews (not just the curated ones on the site).
Other responses by the company say everything that was ordered before the 8th has shipped but mine was before that and definitely hasn't considering USPS says label created today. Rolled the dice on an Instagram ad and I should have reconsidered. Out nearly $100 and no gift for this year. I'll withhold full judgement should the item arrive but beyond disappointed.
Very telling they also removed the direct link to the Trustpilot site from the footer just today.

Good luck
I've amended by review of this vendor to be as honest and fair as possible. IN MY OPINION, this is a mass merchandising/distribution business that has established an online presence for the purpose of retail jewelry sales. I believe it utilizes offshore production facilities and so produces its product to match and serve immediate demand... something akin to a restaurant... which stocks/inventories the ingredients for a meal but does not prepare it until ordered by a hungry patron. So shipment and delivery are slowed/extended therefore via this logistical construct. I know this business has also engaged in the use of AI... artificial intelligence... with the honest and understandable intention of making its internal operations more efficient, less costly, and so more productive. Good intentions but this still needs work... a lot of it. Again, in my opinion, using AI in the customer service area is fraught with peril. But Custom Collective IS a business trying to make it in online retail sales. My experience like many others was soured with... poor communications combined, slow product delivery, and some ill advised business practices / policies which are:
- unclear shipping time frames and lack of clarity about items purchased arriving on time for critical customer deadlines... like timely delivery for Holiday giving
-charging (not reserving) customer's credit card upon order placement... the 'pros' charge ONLY upon shipment
-if this IS a small business with 'real' founders... pictures with a bio would be far more convincing. Using AI to seem folksy and 'salt of the earth' trust worthy only spawns customer suspicion and anxiety.
-customers have only 24 hours to reconsider/cancel an order. That's OK for swap meets but not for online jewelry sales. Effectively this policy is ALL SALES are final. If that's it... then say so clearly and up front.
I won't seek another opportunity to repeat my experience with this vendor. But to those who can't resist... allow enough time for shipment and delivery... at least a month if not more. You will get what you ordered but be patient... and prepared to live with it.
Good luck and be well

Hi Winston,
I wanted to personally apologize for the frustration we’ve caused you. I hear your concerns loud and clear, and I really appreciate the honest feedback regarding our communication. It’s clear we missed the mark for you, and for that, I am truly sorry.
I wanted to touch on the points you raised to help clarify how we operate. Because our jewelry is custom-made, we don't keep a pre-made inventory. As outlined in our FAQs, each piece takes about 8 to 10 business days (excluding weekends) to be meticulously crafted. Once it's ready, standard shipping typically takes another 7 to 10 days, while express takes 3 to 5 business days depending on where you are located.
I understand that seeing your card charged immediately and having a short cancellation window feels restrictive. We use those funds to begin the custom crafting process right away, but I hear your point on how this can feel from a customer's perspective. We are also taking your notes about our "about us" section—we never want to come across as "fake," and we're working on being much more transparent about our small team and our process.
We are working around the clock to get orders out during this busy holiday season. If you could send us a quick email at hello@customgoods.co, I’d love to personally check the latest status of your order and make sure everything is moving along.
Thank you again for your patience and for giving us a chance to explain.
Poor customer service... Terrible Shipping Time
The communication (or lack thereof) on their part was appalling. I figured that ordering a necklace three weeks before Christmas would be playing it safe, especially b/c their site said "Christmas Guaranteed". Unfortunately, I won't be receiving it for Christmas and don't have the gift I intended to give to my girlfriend. Four days of reaching out to them was not enough, as they were unable to get back to me until 5 days after I initially reached out. I am unable to get my money back, and am very disappointed in their efforts.

Hi Jennifer,
I am so incredibly sorry to hear that you’re without your gifts for your mother and mother-in-law. I can only imagine how stressful that is, and I truly apologize for the disappointment this has caused.
To provide some clarity, we had a Christmas cutoff date of December 8th posted to ensure holiday delivery. Since your order was placed on the 11th, it fell just outside that window. As mentioned in our FAQs, each custom piece is made to order and takes about 8–10 business days (excluding weekends) to craft meticulously. Because you selected Express Shipping, it will take an additional 3–5 business days to arrive once it leaves our hands.
The good news is that your necklaces are currently in the final stages of production and will be shipped out very soon. We’re working as fast as we can to get these to you, and we really appreciate your patience while we navigate the holiday rush. Thank you again for giving us a chance.

Misleading Christmas Guarantee
Ordered because the item was Christmas guaranteed at checkout. It has now been 20 days, and my order has not even shipped. I was later told delivery before Christmas could not be guaranteed, which directly contradicts what was advertised when I purchased. To make matters worse, the company has stopped responding to emails altogether. Very disappointing experience. I would not recommend ordering from this company especially for time-sensitive gifts.

Hi Carrie,
I am so incredibly sorry for the frustration this has caused. I completely understand why you’re disappointed; when you’re told an item will arrive for Christmas, that is exactly what you expect. It’s disheartening to feel let down, especially with holiday gifts.
I wanted to reach out personally to give you the most honest update from our team. We have been working around the clock to get orders out, and I can confirm that all orders placed by our December 8th cutoff have now been dispatched and handed over to our shipping providers.
Right now, we are in a bit of a difficult spot where we are waiting for our service providers to sync the tracking numbers back to our system. Because of the extreme holiday peak, there’s a delay in these numbers being generated and updated on the customer side, even though the packages are already on their way.
We definitely haven't ignored your emails—our small team is just buried trying to get through the holiday rush. We sincerely ask for just a bit more of your patience while these tracking links update. We’re doing everything we can to get your gift to you.
